Abstract: A method and apparatus for aligning and splicing optical fibers (12, 14, 16, 18)
whereby the splice losses may be accurately calculated. Two optical fibers (12, 16) are
loaded into two grooved supports (20, 22) and secured in place. The optical fibers (12, 16)
are cleaved resulting in four cleaved ends (46, 48, 50, 52). The second grooved support
(22) is rotated about an axis (72) aligning cleaved ends (46, 50) and cleaved ends (48, 52)
with one another. The cleaved ends (46, 50) are then spliced to one another. The splice
losses associated with splicing cleaved ends (46, 50) to one another may be accurately
estimated by splicing the remaining cleaved ends (48, 52) together and measuring the
optical losses across the splice.

IPC: H04B3/14
Filed: 2000-05-19
Abstract: A bidirectional equalizer arrangement for cancelling the
effect of residual capacitance and/or residual resistive
loss in a separation filter having a low-pass filter and a
high-pass filter. The equalizer comprises a differential
amplifier whose input forms the equalizer's connection
terminals, and whose output is coupled, via a transformer,
to a positive feedback circuit that includes the
transformer's secondary winding, a capacitor and a resistor
of predetermined values. When the equalizer is operatively
coupled to the low-pass filter, the positive feedback
circuit produces a feedback current of opposite polarity
and equal magnitude to that produced by the residual
capacitance and/or the residual resistive loss, thereby
substantially cancelling their effect. The equalizer may
be advantageously used with an ADSL/POTS separation filter.

Abstract: An inflatable bag (10) for packaging and protecting an object (70) received
within the bag, comprises a web of a foil material defining an elongated
configuration having a first set of opposite parallel edges (33, 35). The web is
folded into a four-ply assembly (12; 14; 16; 18) folded transversely relative to
the edges (33, 35) and defining four foil layers of substantially identical shape,
A first and a second foil layer (12; 14) of the assembly are joint to one another
by a first set of joints extending substantially parallel with said edges and
defining a first chamber (I). The second foil layer (14) and a third foil layer (16)
of the assembly are interconnected through a first fold (20) and joint to one
another by a second set of joints extending substantially parallel with the edges
and defining a second chamber (II). The third foil layer (16) and a fourth foil
layer (18) of the assembly are joint to one another by a third set of joints extending
substantially parallel with said edges and defining a third chamber
(III). The second chamber (II) constitutes an inner chamber communicating with
the environment through a first opening opposite the first fold (20) for allowing
the object (70) to be introduced into the inner chamber through the first opening
(20). The first and third chambers (I; III) communicate with one another through
a passage delimited by the first fold (20) and a second fold (22) interconnecting
the fourth foil layer (18) and the first (12) or the second foil layer (14) and
further communicate with the environment through a closable and sealable,
second opening for allowing an inflation medium to be introduced into the first

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for targeting a particular mRNA sequence in vivo by oral administration of a morpholino antisense compound having uncharged phosphorus-containing backbone linkages. Also disclosed is a non-invasive method of detecting and quantitating the in vivo presence of RNA containing one or more selected target sequences. The method includes administering to a subject a nuclease-resistant antisense oligomer which hybridizes by Watson-Crick base pairing to a region of the target RNA with a Tm substantially greater than 37° C. The oligomer is able to complex intracellularly with target RNA, and is released from intracellular sites as a nuclease-resistant heteroduplex, which can then be measured in a body fluid sample, e.g., urine.

Abstract: The invention is a process for preventing microbial growth in the digestive tract of living vertebrate animals, particularly food animals. Control of microbial growth is achieved by the step of applying a percarboxylic acid or a mixture of percarboxylic acids to an aqueous stream which is subsequently consumed orally by the animal. The formulation can also be mixed into food items or into particulate or similar materials, or packaged in ingestible capsules, whereby the active ingredient enters the body of the animal through the oral cavity through feeding behavior, or food scavenging, or particulate scavenging activities of the animal. Formulations may also be sprayed onto the outside of the animal and taken orally.

Abstract: In conventional methods of correction luminance in displays, it has
been necessary to interrupt video display during use in order to carry out
correction. This is a problem in that interruptions are not good for
workability from the perspective of the user of the image display device. In
consideration of this, the present invention realizes a display without
non-uniformity in illumination with respect to both initial characteristics
and change over time by measuring anode current of an FED and creating a
luminance correction memory. In addition, by illuminating arbitrary pixels
during video idle periods, capturing the luminance information from the
pixels, and renewing a correction memory based on this luminance
information, correction for change over time is possible without interrupting
video display. Thus, a display device that can maintain high quality
images is provided.
